His lips were turning purple," Preechakul said.

A doctor and two nurses who were on-board the flight rushed to Rippingale's aid and performed CPR but couldn't save him.

Crew members covered the body and removed Rippingale to a crew rest area where Preechakul asked to sit next to his body for the flight's remaining nine hours, the paper reported.
